[[http://www.frillyshirt.org/ [=FrillyShirt=]]] is a humour and commentary website with a VictorianBritain theme, dedicated to "historical facetiae and archaic nincompoopery" - in other words, to the sillier side of history. Created by [[PenName Sir Frederick Chook]], colonial fop, [=FrillyShirt=] has updated (sporadically) since 2005. As well as pieces of historical fiction or questionable advice columns, the site includes some arts and culture news from around Australia, as well as the occasional political rant or serious academic text. Two CollegeRadio programmes were derived from [=FrillyShirt=] in the 2005-2006 period: ''Sir Frederick Chook's Highly Enjoyable Wireless Entertainment Hours'' and ''The Difference Hours''.
